The FANCY BRIGADES! by Michelle Alton

The FANCY BRIGADES!----In Philadelphia, New Year's Day MEANS: The MUMMERS' PARADE!!!! ----And AFTER the parade (in the frigid streets), there's the Mummers' FANCY BRIGADE competition inSIDE the Convention Center. This is the second year that I have been privileged to shoot the "Fancies" with Bill. It's three hours of colorful, musical extravaganza to delight your eyes, your ears, and your IMAGINATIONS! ---Here's one of the shots. I'll post more in the coming days.-------------
